SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC; JOURNALS. The recent attempt of Lord J. Rtrsell and his partisans to eripple the Church of England through a new 'Church-lease machinery, may looked upon, we suTect, as ne ar ly th e last kick of that restless, worrving, seditious, and fa'ildess body. the political Dissenters, a i tcting to ground their dis sent on religious motives, who are the open prompters of the Melbourne Miiiistry in their indefatigable attacks upon the Church, being likewise their all but ecknowledeed masters. Mr. Joseph Home, a At and chosen " operative" in such a avuOit, asks whether it is rieht that members of the Esta• blislii tt Churclt " should put their hands into the pockets of the Disgenteol to stippett ?" The plain answer is, that the lbeelv.ts of the Dissenters are never visited by the hands of Churchmen, save only to recover such Church pro; err), al tray be found in those depositories of stolen goods. To the case of Church rates we adverted last Saturday, poit, 4 ug out the unquestionable fact, that no Dissenter is c:ll, upon to pay one shilling towards that revenue in ail other c!sarnter but as occupier of lands or houses a: *Pady rateable, before he ever came into possession of them. Th • Dissenters," quoth Joseph, "have never robbed the Church, but the Church has robbed the Dissenters." Pray bow? we be g to ask the luminous Joseph. When the whole prop e rty of the realm was subject to the maintenance of the Church, for centuries before the first growl or squall of dis ellt was ever heard of—when tithes were for centuries, and ate :tell. Ihe oldest property known to the law of England, dissent being a spurious and recent by-blow from the Re formation, eligicating in regard less to principles than to sottris—when Le! the property inherited or possessed by any winister of the Church, which they did not derive from the Ancient and genera! law of England,' has enured to them by virtue': of deedsor testaments, the fruit of individual piety, earnest in its desire to extend and perpetuate the blessings eif religious instruction throughout society, how can it be said by the most impudent ,;f Inert (far no wise or conscien tious m has ever said it), that a ;7raple and regular exercise ei ;he rights of property thus handed ~.1^7.11 was a robbery conellitted upon a class of persons weose sole stinction th a t teey.have of their own accord withdrawn themselves !rOlll A full share of the benefits to be enjoyed under such legal dispensations. Lord John Russell has been sore and shy in intimating (for he has not attempted to specify) the nature of his new scheme of depredation upon the Church ; but he has Not succeeded in concealing from Parliament, that the rela t!ous of landlord and tenant are to be disturbed, the rights of both very seriously encroached upon, and the end to be at tained ;hereby nothing else but a transfer of Church property fors.the relief of clamorous Dissenters from the dis charge , 'Of theft' debts, while millions of our fellow Christians, members' of our own communion, are hourly exhibiting a demand for the comforts and blessings of spiritual instruction far beyoad whet the resources of the esta blished ,Church will satisfy. Mr. Goulburn reminded the House on Thursday that the Commission of " Inquiry into Ec clesiastical Revenues was appointed by Sir Robert Peel—that the Right Hon. Baronet did from the first contemplate, through the instrumentality of this Commission, an nmeaded diseeibution of Church property, and a transfer of superfluities I for the supply of wants within the bosom of the Church her self, and for the benefit of her own Members, and did so con stitute his ; I :ommission with a view to remedy those enor mous evils whieb were admitted to prevail throughout the kingdom—namely id the disproportion between the du ties performed and the remuneration received for them, and the total want of pastoral instruction in many parts of the country." Lord John Russell, in the studied vagueness and mistiness wherewith he habitually expresses himself on these Church questions, labours hard to make it appear that he has the good of the Church for his object because he would employ whatever surplus he could pinch out its revenues in the purchase of "instruc tion for the people." Now, if his Lordship means by this phrase, " the instruction" of that vast body of the people who, being members of the Church Establishment, are frcm their own accumulating numbers destitute of all means of im provement in religious knowledge, we would humbly repre sent to the noble mutilator of the Church, and tool of the Dissenters, that the soundest and most valuable of all religious instruction is that which would be imparted to our Protestant Episcopal congregations by our own parochial clergy, and that the best school-houses which could be obtained would be those built in the form, to the Wes effected, and with the facilities afforded, by a multiplication of Protestant churches, to be served by ministers paid out of any surplus which could by honest means be raised out of the existing lands of the Church, instead of leaving the poor of our Establishment to shift for themselves, while the out-door enemy was fattening on their spoliation, and sharpening, at their expense, his hos tile weapons. The scheme of Lord John Russell goes con fesse4'ry to despoil the Church and its members of whatever advantages might be drawn from the improvement of their own property, and to hand over the fruits of that improvement to strangers. Supposing, as Mr. Goulburn remarked, that the Government of Elizabeth or Henry VIII. had acted as the official tools of the Dissenters now propose to act, and had said—" We are friends of the Church, but we will ma nage that its income shall rever have the slightest share of be nefit from the possible improvement of the times; its present amount shall never be exceeded, let the growth of the popula tion be hereafter whit it will"—what, we ask; would have been the present state of the Church, and of the people of Eng land, with reference to the means of religious knowledge, bad the property never improved from the end of the sixteenth century ? The scheme of the Lord seeks not even what it professes. It professes to leave the revenue of the Church where it is; but it weakens the security of that lavenue by converting a proprietor into a mere rent charger. In another respect, as Sir Robert Peel rightly affirms, ad, eeption is practised by the Ministers. They pre tend to relieve the Dissenters from an impost; but it is not the Dissenters who pay that impost, it is the great Lody of l a ,ided proprietors throughout the kingdom—themselves chiefly men, seers of the Church Establishment, who are to be relieved fro m t i., obligation under which they acquired their estates, no matter whether by descent or purchase—viz., that of keep ing up the l'ehries of the Churches. However, we need not speculate on wiett Ministers really mean. They mean really to do (according td custom) nothing. The present system of managing Church prene:ty had been fouad untenable so long ago as in November, 1834 Why have three years and a half since passed without anything being done or seriously at tempted ? In 1834 Lord Grey's Government, of which Lord Althorp was the organ, propo . sed that the Church-rates shall be paid by " the State." Why was that proposal abandoned ? Mr. Spring Rice brought forward another project. Why was that abandoned? A Committee was ap t :milted by the same inefficient mountebanks in July, 1837. It de, l , what it was de signed to do—viz., nothing. Instead of introdeeing a mea sure on this subject at the opening of the sessiOu in last November, they put it off until the 4th of Mav ; and :hen it proves to be, not a bill, or even one or more binding resctu tions, but a motion for a committee, which is calculated, liks the last year's committee, to do just nothing at all. The fact is, that 1 Ministers dare not grapple with this question. They dread the Dissenters : they dread still more. at the bottom of their hearts, to offend irretrievably the Church of England. They will not stand up in fair battle against either ; they therefore shuffle with both. "If ever," says Sir Robert Peel. " there was a proposal calculated to gull both parties, it is that of leaving the question in its present unsettled state." There lore it is that the question will, so far as depends on Ministers, be "left in its present unsettled state," and this satisfactory adjustment of it. and of all other difficulties, will devolve upon S;r Robert Peel and his Conservative colleagues. Let the people of England bear this in mind, for we have not deceived them. The majority of 1 l on 'Thursday last ought to have been reduced to 2, inasmuch as three Conservative menthes left ti a H , use, and six others were prevented from coming down and r the persuasion that it would be an adjourned de bate. Su di are hair-breadth 'scapes of these sub-Radical ad venturers.— Tinges. . In conformity with our promise of Saturday, we proceed to give a notice somewhat more in detail than we then could give of Doctor Chalmers' lecture of Thursday. After a brief re ference to his lecture of the preceding Tuesday the Rev. Pro fessor proceeded to a glowing eulogium of that state of public affairs when a common sentiment as to that which is good pre vails between the Government and the people. Best of all, it was, he said, when this sentiment was warmed into enthu siasm, and a kind of moral jubilee reigned throughout the land. Such was the case when Sovereign and people, burn ing with an equal zeal against the common enemy, overthrew the Spanish Armada. Such had frequently been the case when honours were to be paid to the memory of de parted warrior= or patriots, and provision made for their descendants. Such common feeling between the Govern ment znd the governed frequently appeared also in times of public calamity, as, for example, when the miseries of famine were to be allayed, and governors were found unlocking the coffers of the State in aid of the subscriptions of the people. This unanimity of feeling was observed be tween Fleury VIII. and his subjects, ruthless despot though he was, as well as between the people and Henry's son, the mild and saint-like Edward ; and in later times was created by the conduct of the imprisoned Bi,hops who were ready to suffer death, if need had been, in the cause of religious liberty. When they were set free they were met by the rapturous ac tclaims of a grateful and liberated nation. This was the gt.arious prospect which was presented when the acts of the governors and the governed proceed together as the pulsations of oce mighty heart—when the common energies are devoted to a co.-nmon object, and all jealousy forgotten. Religion has teen in times of old the subject of this natural unanimity. In the best periods of the Jewish history the Government and the people. acted together. Kings and subjects equally strove for providing the expenses of building the Temple. But in the present time there is as it were a war between the State and the people in such matters, as if a contempo raneous exertion of both were impossible. There was, how .ever, i.o reason thet the legal should supersede the voluntary with respect to the expenses of Christian teaching, though that seemed to be a prevailing notion in these days. In Scot land, said the Rev. Lecturer, the desire of the friends of Church extension is that the Churches should be lau,ilt from voluntary subscriptions, but be endowed by Government for the support of the Clergy belonging to them. And some have objected to this division, as if it were an encouragement raf the principle of the, unhallowed attack on Church -rates, but it is really not so. The building of Churches is one thing, and the obligation of the people to maintain them is another. " For palv part," said the Rev. Lecturer, " I am a disciple of Cobbctt on the subject of Church rates. I consider ga i'm as a proprietary right over those who by law are )"agile to pay them." The first Christian Establishment was that of eonttantine, and it was to this day doubtful w'rwiter the pie•v or the policy of that Emperor led to his conversion. If it were from sincere religious feeling it was the duty of the hehd of an empire, as it would be of the head of a Tamil", to orcvide a settled system of religious wor ship. It was thus that the influence of a Christianised heart was exhibited. Whether from a Sovereign to his subjects, or a parent to his children, the best boon that could be bestowed upon either is Christianity. But if Constantine was no Chris tiara, he still had good ground for what he did. If he cannot be vindicated as a religious, he still may be as a wise Go vernor. And this, not because of accommodating the reli gion of the State to the views of the majority, but because the morality of the Christian religion is the best regimen for a well-ordered commonwealth. Governors might concede to a majority merely for the sake of keeping themselves in power; but that is very different from selecting a religion on account of the excellent moral regimen it inculcates. If Constantine established Christianity for the sake of his own civil and poli tical effairs, it might say I ttle for his sincerity as a mm, but it was nevertheless creditable to his souncinesa as a Monarch. The second great example in the foundation of an Establishment was at the change from Popery to Protestantism, made more noticeable by the rejec tion of one, end the adoption of another, form of Christianity. After adverting to the different motives which influenced different Sovereigns in promoting this new Estab lishment, the Rev. Lecturer proceeded to point out its foun dation as resting upon the same principles as he had before attributed to the establishment of Christianity by Constantine. The Reformation was demanded both by piety and by patrio tism—it was justifiable whether trial by a heavenly or an earthly standard. In Protestantism the sincere Christian found the religion of the Bible purified from spiritual tyranny and degrading superstition', while the sound patriot equally welcomed it, as the parent and the guardian of virtue, intellc. ,gcnce, and orderly habits. From this the Reverend Lecturer proceeded to advert to the present Legislative Government of this country, affirming that at this moment no legislative body in Europe was more called upon to be ripe and ready for the de fence of the established religion. If, instead of being a'usorded in the eddying whirl of party and political movement, it were to be guided by intelligent and high principled men,it would see the expediency of this defence either on the consideration of what is truth, or if not that upon a consideration of what is to pro duce good citizens, and the rich blessings of a moral and re ligious population. "It is right," said the Reverend Lec turer, " that there should be two principles in action—one proceeding from a conviction of theological truth, the other from an observation of that which tends to moral improvement and to the comfort and virtue of a nation. But, in these times, the notion that a Parliament or a Government should entertain a theological question was treated with ridicule. It was observed upon as though it would transform the Senate House into an arena of polemical controversy. But this is an exaggeration. it would be true if the questions debated had reference to the settlement of a creed, or the ordering of reli gious ceremonies, which works were the proper buaineas of Eeclesiastics ; but that must be a most incompetent and vulga rised Parliament which could not decide the merits of the question between Protestantism and Poeery, and sly authoritatively, which is most worthy of being upheld as the national faith of these realms—whether Scripture is to be esseintained as the only rule, or co-ordinate therewith the Counclie of men since the Apostles should be admitted to an equal or supesie; over the consciences of men—whether the voice of Scripture stieel4 be the only voice, or the miracles of the Gospel and the mumesseaiee of Papal superstition be pieced ,otl .44 equal footing". The lies', Lecturer then went into that sea.graiticen't eulogium upon the theological and gene ral science of Great Britain which we adverted to on Satur day, singling out Newtoe ea the object of a particular por traiture. We shall not do this part of the lecture the injus tice of a ttempting to describe it. There can be nothing like adequate appreciation of it except by reading the very words which were dei:aPred• His argument was, that from out a people, educated under the influence of such knowledge as the grit men of Britain huiareated and diffused, it was impos sible but that a Parliament might be found quite capable of de ciding that Welt it was said in the preseet day Parliament was incompetent to decide; provided that miiii a the List principles and the best alWatton were chosen for Parliament. But if, said the Learned Lee e turer, we should not be so fortu nate--if at any time we should betwerh . orne in Parliament by i vulgar and upstart polititions—by nthiet o semi-infidel direc tors of affairs, who sacrifices everything . just wad excellent at at the shrine of their own wretcheal partisanship--if we should find a Government and a Legislature willing to further witiat is unscriptural at the expense of what is striptural, then it is to be hoped there will be enough, nc,4 of fierye rejimpatient zeal, but of calm principle in the nation IP resent see!) an outrage—it is to be hoped that there will be enourch of maidy sense in this great country to meet and to overpower it. Tire Rev. Lecturer next proceeded to a ;met of the comparative effects upon the habits and moral condition of a people pro. duced by Popery and by Protestantism, with a speclatrefer ence tc the state of Ireland. Of this comparatioe estimete, and of the view taken of the Protestant Church in Ireland, .both in its former state of negligence and in its present state of active and apostolic zeal, we must take another opportunity of speaking. —Morning Post. From the day the Hull Election Committee commenced its sittings till the present time, the counsel for the sitting Mem bers, and certain writers in the Tinos, who have caught their spirit so successfully that one might he tempted to conclude the same individuals acted in the double capacity, have sought to effect their object by a system of bullying and intimidetion , of which there is, we believe, no previous example. Hitherto some show of decency has been observed by counsel in the language addressed by them to Committees ; but its the Hull Committee a determination seems to have been taken frame the first by Counsel to use towards the Memhers the most re . , proachful and contumelious language. We have snore dia once heard considerable surprise expressed that the Corn mince did not protect themselves from such studied insults asil have been offered to them day after day, by leaving the room, and declining to return till the House should afford the necessary protection to them. No Judge would allow a Counsel to insult him to his face; and it is note, rious that imputations of the most insulting nature have been coolly and studiedly offered to the Members of the Committee. To take but one instance in the proceed. inns of Saturday. "It is with perfect disgust," said Mr. Thessiger, " that I resume my arguments, for they cannot prevail." There can be no mistake here as to Iris meaning, which is, that the Committee had determined to decide un justly. This is strange language to be addressed to any tribunal. The next thing is to spit on the members of a Committee. fiat the object of all this butiting and abuse is cot to be mistaken:. They have, however, overshot the mark. The Committee are not so weak as to suffer themselves to be influenced by in sulting language. Were they to display this weakness it would be admitting that they deserved all the contumely which has been heaped on them. Men would say, Mr Thessiger and his colleagues took all your true measure— they knew their men—they knew that some of you had not pluck to stand their constant baiting. Ore Parlia ment was called unlearned—Parliamentum kdoctuni : you will be known hereafter by the appellation of the cowed Committee. You had all the desire in the world to decide one way ; but your hearts failed you, and you have allowed the Tories to crow over you. We believe the members of the Hull Committee to have been irdluenced by no other desire than to decide with justice and impartiality ; and we are cer. :lie that they have too much spirit to suttee themselves to be turned aside from their course by abuse like Eliot which they have been essailed. Mr, The.,seger and his colleagues have good and intelligible reasons for acting as they have acted; and the Hull Committee will show by their decision that they thoroughly appreciate those reasons. They will not yield to insolence what they are bound to yield only to justice. The Tories will find they have calculated too much on the effeet of their bullying. Men of honour and spirit are not to be over in this way. The Tories will not be suffered to boast that they have turned the Committee from deciding as they had originally intended. —eller/ring Chronicle.. Notwithstanding the many promises that have been made from time to time by professed patriots of reforming the law of libel (a topic upon which Lord Brougham arid:Mr. O'Connell have several times sought popularity), that law remains in the same disgraceful state in which it was before those premises were made. Our attention has been reaseiled to this subject by observing that notices, or rather threats of actions, have been served on several newsvenders, touching the sale of a weekly Paper, in which some person chooses to say lie has, or expects to be libelled. It is a great hardship that the casual vendors of Newspapers should be held legally responsible for the contents of public Journals which they must supply to their customers, without stopping to ascertain whether libellous matter lurks in any part of them, or else give up their trade i and starve. A few years ago some notorious attorneys specu lated extensively in bringing actions against casual vendors of various periodical publications, until juries put a check upon the injustice anti rapacity of the adventurers. We thought that mode of ,' doing business," even under the execrable law of libel, had ceased in practice, though still allowed by law—but ve were deceived. The practice which public opinion had indignantly denounced has been revived, and what makes its revival more remarkable is, that the solicitor's firm whose name has been used, is one connected with the proprietorship of another weekly paper. The best comment a Newspaper can make on this is to ap pl y to i t t h e tr i te a d age , " h e w h o lit , e3 in a glass-house sh ou ld not b e t h e fi rst to t h row stones. " A e uuderstand, indeed, that the principal of the firm denies that his partner's proceedings were with his knowled g e—that being so, now he does know it we wou ld recommend him to give the best proof of his not sub sequent l y consent i ng to the thing, by disconnecting his firm from such proceedings, and allowing the person who wishes to put the law of lib e l in mo tion in such a way, to find other instruments. We know no thing whatever of the merits of the particular case, but the principle is the same whatever the case may be. " Reformers" especially ought not to set the example of making a traffic of an acknowledged abuse, by reviving a practice pronounced by universal consent to be most unjust, odious, and oppressive;__ Morning Herald. Mr. Hughes, of Newport Pratt, hag published a long letter to Mr. Sharnian Crawford. lie makes a beginning by quoting a speech attributed to Mr. O'Connell, and publisoed in the Freeman's Journal of the 31st ult. :—" That there is a determination on the part of the people of England not to do us justice is perfectly manifest." STUTGAItD.-The only convent of nuns existing among us will be shortly broken up. It is the convent of Rothminst near /toth , .,eil. On a journey which the Kiug made to that place some years ago, the nuns obtained his Majesty's special favour to lire and en joy their pensions together in their old habitation, and according totheir old rules, under an abbess, for their life. Very few of them now rem: in and those are so very aged, that in a few years the convent will be with out inmates. The buildings will then be employed for The use of the valtworki at Rotbminiter. ----• The strongest feeling of personal regard subsists between her Majesty and the Queen Dowager, an instance of which, though slight in itself, we are enabled to give. it is known that Queen Adelaide is passionately fond of flowers, and last year, during her resi dence at Windsor, she planted some violets of a particular kind in those beautiful gardens near the Castle, called the Slopes. It was only during her Majesty's late visit to Windsor during Easter, that the ss. lets bloomed for the first time this year; and as soon as her Majesty was in formed of it, she immediately caused a bouquet to be gathered, and sent it off by express to Marlborough House, in order that Queen Adelaide might receive the first offering of the flowers which she herself had planted.

BRITISH REFORMATION SOCIETY The anniversary meeting of this Society took placo on Fli day, in the Large Itootn, Exeter Hall.- The attendance, thoug respectable, was far from numerous. At eleven o'clock GEORGE FINCH, Esq., took the Chair. The Rev. J. CUMMING offered up prayers. The CHAIRMAN said the Society's efforts were especially directed against the errors of the. Church of Rome, and its object was to diffuse the principles of the Reformation—that is the principles of the Bible. It did not seek to su persede the exertions of Christian Ministers in the land but only to supply the necessary deficiencies of regu lar pastern • instruction, cccasioned by the vast field of labour. The intentions of the Society were to support the Established Churcs. as the hest means of dissemi nating religious truth in Ireland. The Society carefully steered clear of politics, because, amidst the loud and angry discussions of political subjects, the "small still voice" of truth was too frequently drowned, and such discussions would not tend to induce the Catholics to receive Christian truth.—( Cheers.) The Society did not shut its door against Dissenters;' or though there were many circumstances, in the present situa tion of Dissenters, which interposed difficulties in the way of cordial co-operation, yet they were not so insuperable as not to be capable of removal by Christian moderation and love. —( Cheers.) Besides, he considered the present position of the Dissenters to be a false one—and one, therefore, in which they could not long remain. They were in the same position in the reign of James 11., when the Papal Church having first. found her blandishments fail to ensnare the Protestant Esta blished Church, directed her snares to the Dissenters ; who for a time were deceived by her allurements; but they soon discovered the real malignant sentiments with which the Papists regarded the Protestants, whether of the Established r Dissenting classes ; and at the present moment, the Rornifi Church was in truth jus as intolerant as in the darkest ages of Papal persecution.---( Cheers.) After reading a long account of some Roman Catholic procession at Rome, the Chairman I said he hoped all Christians would abstain—if not ashamed of subscribing to Roman Catholic chapels—( Loud cheers) — at least from throwing contempt or disregard upon those who exerted themselves against the errors of Popery.—(Loud cheers.) Let all Christians unite in endeavouring to rescue from ignominious and degrading superstition their Catholic fellow-citizens.—( Hear, hear.) Roman Catholicism appeared to be on the increase in this country. Some thought that it was alarming ; but there was a far greater cause for alarm —the indifference and supineness of Protestants.—( Hear.) Informer times, Protestantism was not so innocuous. —( Hear.) A handful of ancient Reformers filled the Church of Rome with dismay. —( Hear, hear.) But at the present day, there were a million of Roman Catholics living and dying amongst us in this country alone. If there were any increase it was on the side of the Roman Catholics. Ought these things to be ? The Romish Church was not in vulnerable in the days of Luther and Wycliffe, and Huss, and Jerome.—( Hear, hear.) Should not Protestants be stimu lated to energetic exertions by the recollection of what they owed to Protestantism, and to the memory of their older Re formers.—( Cheers.) The Rev. H. SRI NIGUR read the report, which strongly de precated the assumption, by the Catholic prelates, of the titles of ecclessiostical dignity which only of right belonged to the superiors of the Protestant Established Church. It further stated the revival of Roman Catholic processions in this coun try. which was expressly prohibited by Acts of Parliament. The meeting was addressed, among other gentlemen by the Revds. B. A. Noel, G. Curving, and H. Seymour. HOLLAND AND BELGIUM. THE HAGUE, APRIL 30.—1 n the sitting of the Belgian Chamber of Representatives, on the 28th inst., M. Metz read the following letter, written from Strassen, a league from Luxemburg, which he warranted as authentic; —" You have seen the tree of liberty planted before the house of our burgo master, at his recent installation, and Belgian national colours again hoisted as a sign of our protest against the partition with which we are threatened. Well, at the moment of my writing to you (four o'clock in the afternoon), both the tree and the colours of the revolution have since disappeared. Satellites of despotism have sullied with their liberticide hands the noble colours of our hope." The following is the fact :—" Just now a battalion of Prussian infantry, complete, with its van and rear guard, its commander at its head, escorted by his staff, a company of hussars, as many lancers, some pioneers armed with hatchets, arrived here in the absence of the burgomaster, and summoned' the secretary to take down the colours. On his refusing to do so, as well as to order another person to do it, Major • • • ordered the pioneers to use their hatchets, and in less than five minutes the tree and the colours lay on the ground, the colours were taken off and carried into the fortress. " If it is discouraging to see Belgium nationally despised, and its noble rallying sign trampled on, something at least must console us for this act of German despotism, and make us hope that it proceeded from the fear which the tricoloured flag inspires. This fear was so great, that for two days' ex ploit the commandant thought it necessary to set a little army in motion; 1,000 men manoeuvred, with all the precautions used in time of war, on the road which passes through Strassen, while some hundreds of soldiers preceded this body, and nearly as many followed it. This was not enough ; the whole village was guarded, at the distance of a quarter of a league all the road. It is affirmed that there were cannon, and that every soldier had ten cartridges. The last circumstance has been confessed by the soldiers themselves ; as for cannon, none were seen. " I need not tell you that, being too few In number, we could only protest against this act of violence but I know that preparations are making to hoist the tri-coloured flag again to-morrow on the top of th e s t eep l e . If it should be done I will write to you immediately." After reading this letter, M. Metz moved that the follow. leg address be adopted on the spot :—. " PROJECT OF AN ADDRESS TO THE KING. " Sire,—ln 1831 unfortunate circumstances threatened Bel gium with the affecting sacrifice of our brethren of Luxem burg and Limburg. Can it be consummated now, after years have attached them to Belgium ? The Chamber, Sire, ven tures to hope that in the negociations with Holland, the in tegrity of the Belgium territory will be maintained, " Done in the Palace of the Nation, 28th April, 1838. (141010) The Deputies of Limburg and Luxemburg. " METZ DE RENESSE JADOT, SCIIF,ZYEN, POLLEN US, D'BOFFSCHMIDT, DE PUYT SIMONS, and DR LONOREK." On the motion of M. de Brouhere a committee was imme diately appointed to examine the proposal of M. Metz. It is composed of Messrs. Fallon, do Renesse, Deschamps, Dubuc, sen., Delanghe, and Desrnunet de Bresme. Messrs. Merote and Lcbeau moved that the debate on the proposed address should be adjourned to Monday, which wa3 agreed to.—Journal de la Hague, May 1. ANECDOTE OF GEORGE THE THIRD.--As far back as 1755 Captain-Lieutenant Gordon, of the 67th Regiment, brought forward his method of using the bayonet; and his scheme fell to the ground, partly through an odd circumstance, which we shall re late.—Gordon, then quartered at Chatham, having drilled the squads of the different regivnts in the garrison, handed over to him for the purpose, was directed to parade his men on a certain day at the Queen's rldhig-house, in London ; and, full of anticipated success, he appeared at the appointed hour--drew up his men outside—entered the building by himself—and found only one person in the interior, whom he took for one of the attendants belonging to the establishment. This Individual was a homely.looking, elderly fellow, in a bob.wig and cut.vtivet coat, rather worn ; a broom was in his hand, and, as he walked up and down, he whisked off any impediment that happened to lie in his way with the broom. Gordon, to while away the time till the authorities should appear, entered into conversation with him. The attendant happening to ask Gordon if he had ever been in Ireland, led to a discussion on Irish politics, in which they both waxed warm ; and Gordon thought the individual in the seedy cut_velvet coat was inclined to be disputatious beyond what his appearance warranted. Presently the latter, reverting to Gordon's pusjliess tt t the ritling.house, observed that he had understood every essistanee had been given him at Chatham in the prosecu tion of his objeet. Nettled at this old boy's obstinacy about Irish affairs, Gordon flatly replied that the faet was quite the reverse; and, on the contrary, every obstacle had been thrown in his way by old General Fox, old Marsh, and others, who were jealous of any one's doing any thing but themselves. He of the cut-velvet then pointed out a part of the riding-house which, he conceived, would be most favourable fur the performance of the bayonet exercise; but Gordon, determined to contradict him in everything, abruptly an swered that it was Just the very worst spot In the whole place. At this moment, in came Sir William Fawcett, Adjutant-General to the Forces; who, taking no notice of Gordon, approached his companion hat in hand, and apologised to "his Majesty" for having detained him so long.

Prirrr, Silt GEORGE ARTHUR AND THE REFORMERS OF UPPER CANADA. ( PROM A CORRESPONDENT.)—On the 24th ult. a numerous body of the Constitutional Reformers of To • ronto (Upper Canada) waited upon Sir GEORGE ARTHUR with an Address, in which, after stating that they " wish not to oppress his Excellency with the reiteration of complaints," with discussions upon which " men's minds are at present quite unfit," they thus point out the policy which it, behoves his Excellency to adopt : " have Observed, With feelings of unmixed pleasure, the desire tilsnifested by all parties in England, that severe punishments should not be inflicted upon the unfortunate persons enga g ed in the late la. mentable rebellion, and that in deference to this universal feeling, and in obedience to the dictates of her own most gracious and amiable die position, her Majesty has been pleased to authorise the proclarnath Is of a general amnesty for political offences. In carryin g into effect the gra cious inclinations of her Majesty in this province, your Excellency will have the noblest gratification of an elevated mind, the announcement of pardon to the miserable and guilty ; and we venture to assure that an administration thus begun will be hailed as the commencement of a long course of general confidence, peace, and prosperity, and we sincerely pray that it may be happy and g lorious to yourself, and both satisfactory and honourable to her Majesty, and the noble-empire over which she promises so worthily to reign." - - His Excellency's answer was not calculated to inspire the Reformers of Toronto with the most sanguine hopes of the mildness of his Administration. After condemning in no measured terms their appearance before him in the sus picious character of Reformers, the ex-Governor of a pe nal settlement thus replies to their prayer for mercy : " In considering the cases of the unfortunate persons to whom you have alluded in your Address, it is of the greatest consequence that the Executive Government, having regard to justice as well as mercy, should have no misgiving that there exists any probability of a renewal of the disgraceful scenes which have so recently disturbed the tranquil lity of the Colony, through the malignant recklessness of men whose professed object was Reform. " Punishment can never be justifiably resorted to as an act of ven geance. It is only to be sanctioned as the necessary means of pre venting the recurrence of crime ; and this necessity would plainly be much obviated, if attachment, and a spirit of obedience to the SCAT reign and the Laws, were known to exist amongst all classes of the commun . / y." Such language as this admits of only one interpretation, and that is, while the Government has fears it is necessary that there should be victims. When the Government ceases to have " misgivings" it can afford to be merciful ; in other words, a pardon may be hoped for by those who are neither guilty, nor suspected of guilt, in either the past or future tenses? But it•will not be long before the Earl of DURHAM arrive in Canada, and we will then see the extent to which Sir GEORGE ARTHUR has presumed thus early to depart from the spirit of the instructions which he received from the Supreme Government.. BEAU B-- AT CAEN. There were (says the writer in the United Service Journal, of " A Run to the North Coast of France,") several English men at this table d'hote, some, like myself, birds of passage ; some fixtures. Of this last set there was one tine old English gentleman sitting near the head of the table, who attracted seme attention from the English part of us, as having once cut a conspicuous figure in the fashionable world, lint who has been long living in France,—so long, indeed, that there is perhaps hardly a friend of his youth in England now alive. As this gentleman is one of those characters who stand out from the herd, giving themselves to fame, he will, I hope, pardon my notice of him, particularly as his name is a kind of public property. Every body has at least heard of Mr. —; though very likely half we have heard of him (except his good sayings) are ingenious inventions engrafted on his repu tation. I expected to see a little precise finical man, rather than the fine manly person he really is—l should think very near six feet, and well-built ; with fine features, and nothing remark able in his dress or manner, except a quiet unassuming ease, which certainly distinguished him from some would bo very fine persons, who were at table, of the small school of conse quential nobodies. He joined our oonversation, too, and told us several anecdotes with a pleasant good nature that made me regret seeing so little of him. Besides that, I heartily srm pathise with him at the very shabby treatment he has met with, which I was told in some sort obliges him to put up with the discomfort of this hotel—should it be his choice, why, it is so much the better ; but no thanks to the ungenerous way he has been treated in which is said to be this:--Having been for sonic years our Consul here, with a Vice-Consul under him, where, indeed, there is little or nothing to do for either, he, unfortunately for himself, honestly wrote to the Foreign office to say so, with the understanding- that he might have something else, or be sent to some other more useful consu late. Not at all ; they at once deprived him of his office, giving the duty to the vice-consul, a French shopkeeper, and left the consul to shift for himself. This is the current story at Caen ; though, of course, it is impossible to know the exact truth. Certain it is, however, ho is no longer consul, and is living, it is said, on a very slender income ; though his numerous acquaintance among the English make his continued residence here more agreeable to him than elsewhere, I conclude. Apart from all the escapades of his youth, and all the fun and frolic of wittier, if not wiser days than these we live in, one cannot look at such a man without a degree of interest, as one of the few notable last links that yet connect %I* with the merry times of his fat friend," anti with geniuses from whom each succeeding genera tion but give but faint and feeble copie.s of their sires. Our Ilan has degenerated into wrenebing off people's knockers and painting houses red at taidnight, without one redeeming spark of wit, hurocAts, or Invention—a sheer animal brutality—no thing to laugh at. In those days thore was always some re deeming grace —some good joke, partly t o excuse watc h men ' s broken heads. Wi ts still frequented coffee-houses—genius still astonished and delighted the world ins prose and verse. Now we bare hundreds, nay thousands, of dull gentlemanly dogs, who pore over newspapers in club. houses—all of the same formal cut—and s,cribblers of countless heavy tomes in muddy mediocrity f Character, eccentricity, frolic, are gone --our stalking gravities cannot eve] laugh at each other. However, houses go on banding—steam-boats, steam-en gines, and railroads iuorease and multiply—and the world is very excellent good, i'faith, to vegetate in and to travel in. This puts me in mind that lam still at table. I observed Mr. B.'s graceful management of a handsome snuff-box, the only thing I could fairly say was of' the old school. NEW QUICKSILVER -STEAM-SHIP. LIVERPOOL.—The splendid new steamer Columbus, des tined shortly to cross the Atlantic, which has created mu&a interest from the novel construction of the machinery, made after Mr. Howard's invention, for the rapid vapourisa tion of water on ,iron plates over heated quicksilver, lately took a trial trip down the Mersey, and round the light ship, with a highly respectable party of gentlemen on board. She excited much curiosity on the river, from the novelty of her appearance, and the beauty of her model. In her construction she has more of the appearance of an elegant-made brig. She has two chimnies, both very low, and from the peculiar coal, the anthracite, con sumed by her, no smoke is emitted. By the polite ness of Captain Daniel Green, her cowl - winder, and of Mr. Howard, the inventor of her machinery, we have been furnished with the following particulars :—The Colum bus is 330 tons builder's measurement, being 214- foot beam, and 145 feet keel, with 131 feet deep of hold. She has 110-horse power, two 55-feet engines, the cylinder being 40- inches diameter, and 3: 1 ,- foot stroke, and wheel 171 feet diameter. Her speed through the water is 10 statute miles per hour; the immersed section at her present load is 140 square feet. She has now on board 20 days' fuel, besides 30 tons of iron ballast. The novelty of the engines (Mr. Howard's patent) consists in a new method of producing the steam and condensing it, the latter part of the invention being appli cable to the ordinary boilers. In a boiler the heat from the fuel is passed over very extensive surfaces, in contact with which is a large body of water, the temperature of which is always such as is due to the density or pressure of the steam, and, consequently, the evaporation is limited by such circum. stances. In the invention, the steam is formed by bringing a small quantity of water, previously made boiling hot, in con tact with a comparatively small surface, heated to and maintained at the temperature of most rapid vapourisation. viz., about 400 degrees, to effect which a quantity of mercury or amalgum lies between iron plates, the one near the fire being a plain surface of only three-quarters of a foot per horse power, and the other, or vapourising surface being about four times as much. The steam never obtains a density or pressure due to the temperature, but it is itself heated to about 400 degrees, and worked in about ten pounds to the inch, and cut off from the cylinder at half the stroke. The fuel made use of is coke or stone-coal, or other fuel giving a strong local heat and little flame. That employed to-day was Kilkenny coal. The consumption of fuel is three tons per day of twenty-four hours, and the fire -grates have a total bar surface of only 22 feet, the air being supplied lty a sma ll blow ing machine, under easy regulation. The iron plates exposed to the fire are perfectly secured front any bad effect from the somewhat intense heat by the clo se contact of th 2 mer cury within them, and which absorbs and give out t h e h eat with the utmost rapidity. The combined effect of the re duction in the consumption of fuel, and in the weight and size of the vapourisers compared with boilers, is such that a steam-vessel of any ordinary tonnage and power will be enabled at her loaded immersion to make a voyage of five times the length no practicable, The steamer made a de. lightful trip round the light-ship. list speed is not great— about ten miles an hour; but is very good, taking into consi deration the power of her engines compared with her tonnage. Her paddle-wheels are also on ttfi improved p r i nc ipl e , b e i ng co nstructed after Mordan's patent, the paddles turning en an eccentric centre with the wheel, and always turning per pendicularly, exposing a perfectly . perpi,adiLlar surface to the water.

COURT OF CHANCERY, MA Y 5. COOPER v. EMERV. This was an appeal from an order of the Master of the Rolls allowing an exception to the Master's Report. The question. was, whethe r 3 pew in a church sold in conjunctiin with a messuage, was to be tied es sential to the proper engagement of the purchase, the title to the pew having failed. A reference was made to the Master by the Vice Chan• cellor to inquire whether the engagement of the pew was essential or material. The Master found that it was material, but not essential, and the Master of the Rolls allhwed exceptions taken to the Report 011 th i ground of insufficient evidence. The appeal was opposed by Mr. VP Ley and Mr. Walker on Wednesday last. The Lotto CHANCELLOR, without calling on the other side, obsCfted this morning that he perfectly coincided with the Master of the ito l P. The appeal must therefore bedismissed with costs.
